The engine generates energy, which the transmission transfers to the wheels so they move at the required speed. Worn or damaged transmission components can cause many problems, ranging from strange noises to leaks to gears that won’t shift. As your Lincoln dealership, we’d like you to know some signs you need to visit us for a transmission service.
3 Signs You Need To Visit Your Lincoln Dealership for a Transmission Service
Delayed Shifting
When you accelerate or decelerate, the transmission sends instructions to the sensors in the transmission to shift gears. A healthy transmission responds in seconds and smoothly and silently changes gears. As time passes, problems can develop, and the gears will take longer to shift than they should. While this issue may seem minor at first, it will become more troublesome, and if not repaired, the transmission could be seriously damaged.
A common reason for delayed shifting is low transmission fluid. This fluid performs many important tasks, but a very crucial job is to provide the hydraulic power that shifts the gears. A leak or a blocked transmission filter reduces the available fluid, and you’ll hear strange noises as the transmission struggles to shift gears. We’ll find the cause of the problem and repair it.
Blocked Transmission Filter
The transmission filter removes dirt, tiny pieces of metal, and other debris that the fluid absorbs as it circulates through the transmission. This is an important task, as too much debris in the fluid causes it to slow down, and the transmission won’t work efficiently. If the transmission hasn’t been serviced for a while, the accumulated debris can block the filter.
Transmission fluid helps control the temperature inside the transmission, and a blocked filter can cause the transmission to overheat. Additionally, many components depend on the fluid to protect them against friction damage. Without this protection, the transmission will become noisy, and wear and tear on components will increase. Our technicians will drain and replace the old fluid and install a new filter to fix this issue.
Check Engine Light
An illuminated check engine light can mean something is wrong with the engine, but it can also signal a problem with the transmission. The engine and transmission work so closely together that a problem with the transmission will automatically affect the engine. If the transmission isn’t working correctly, the engine will generate more energy to try and fix the problem.
As the engine works harder to supply more power, wear and tear on engine components increases. Sensors will inform your computer of the problem, and it will activate the check engine light. We’ll examine your engine and transmission, and once the issue is fixed, the light will go out.
